Cleanup of window coordinate positioning code. Now, text area click input events measure Y from the top of the text area, excluding the header line if any. * src/dispnew.c (buffer_posn_from_coords): Assume that X counts from the start of the text area. * src/keyboard.c (make_lispy_position): For text area clicks, record Y pixel position relative to the text area, excluding header line. Also change X and Y to Lisp_Objects, not pointers; don't return coordinate values via pointers. Pass ON_TEXT_AREA coordinate to buffer_posn_from_coords counting from the start of the text area. (Fposn_at_x_y, make_lispy_event): Callers changed. * src/w32term.c (w32_read_socket): * src/msdos.c (dos_rawgetc): * src/xterm.c (handle_one_xevent): Likewise. * src/window.c (coordinates_in_window): Change X and Y to ints rather than pointers; don't return coordinates via pointers. (struct check_window_data): Change X and Y from pointers to ints. (window_from_coordinates): Remove args WX and WY; don't return coordinates via pointers. (Fcoordinates_in_window_p, window_from_coordinates): (check_window_containing, Fwindow_at): Callers changed. (window_relative_x_coord): New function. * src/window.h (window_from_coordinates, window_relative_x_coord): Update prototypes. * src/xdisp.c (remember_mouse_glyph): Change window_from_coordinates call. Use window_relative_x_coord. (note_mouse_highlight): Change window_from_coordinates call.

HOW TO MAINTAIN COPYRIGHT YEARS FOR GNU EMACS

Maintaining copyright years is now very simple: every time a new year
rolls around, add that year to every FSF (and AIST) copyright notice.

There's no need to worry about whether an individual file has changed
in a given year - it's sufficient that Emacs as a whole has changed.

For more detailed information on maintaining copyright, see the file
"copyright" in this directory.

The previous policy was more complex, but is now only of historical
interest (see versions of this file from before 2009).

The refcards in etc/refcards can print only the latest copyright year,
but should keep the full list in a comment in the source.


"Our lawyer says it is ok if we add, to each file that has been in Emacs
 since Emacs 21 came out in 2001, all the subsequent years[1].  We don't
 need to check whether *that file* was changed in those years.
 It's sufficient that *Emacs* was changed in those years (and it was!).
  
 For those files that have been added since then, we should add
 the year it was added to Emacs, and all subsequent years."
